Our club was established in August of 1997 under the
auspices of the American Volkssport Association. We are a nonprofit
organization whose mission is to encourage everyone, regardless of their level
of fitness, to get out, exercise and have fun doing it. Our walking
activities are open to everyone. Our yearly dues are $10 for a single person
and $15 for a family. While it is not required, we recommend that each member
keep record books in which their achievements may be noted. Normally these
are $6, each for the Distance and the Event books. As an incentive, we offer
New Walker Packets for $5, that include BOTH books and coupons that allow you
to walk your first three events- normally $3 each for free using the included
coupons - As you fill each book, you may mail them in for an award of a
certificate, patch, or pin. Incentives and awards are an important part of
any successful endeavor. In addition, we offer a New Walker Packet at no
charge to New Walkers who join our club. As an additional incentive to walk
with us, prior to becoming a member, you are welcome to walk your first 3
group walks free. This will enable you to see if our club is what you’re
looking for.

On behalf of the First Coast Trail Forgers here in the
Jacksonville area of Florida, we would like to thank you for your
